Change "Supertyphoon" (Line 215) to "Super typhoon" [[User:Wolf20482|<span style="background-color:purple; color:white;">'''wolf20482 🐺'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Wolf20482|talk]]) 13:38, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Given the concerns regarding the changed colors and their relation to the ongoing ArbCom case against WPTC regarding stealth canvassing (which the process was heavily tainted by) – brought up [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/WikiProject Tropical Cyclones/Workshop#General discussion|here]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Potential off-wiki canvassing|here]] and [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Restoring old colors for now until the end of ArbCom|here]] (the last one brought up by me specifically to get more input from members) – I propose that until the ArbCom case is finalized on May 4 (under a month from now) the legacy colors be temporarily restored until a decision on what to do regarding the RfC’s outcomes is made. The reasoning behind this is mostly to fix the discrepancy between the infoboxes/timelines and the track maps themselves, given that the project was in the middle of re-discussing a new scheme after the previous consensus and had not updated the maps. Even now, currently active systems are still using the old color scale for the track maps so I think it is better that at least for the next month we follow that so as to not give confusion to new readers. This is a genuine concern and not a case of [[WP:IDLI]] as I am considering the ramifications the currently convoluted situation has right now on our new readers.

::{{Not done}}. We are not doing this. The proper process for an RfC is consensus first, then implementation of said consensus. In the meantime, the status quo should be upheld. It is far, far more disruptive to revert back and forth than it is to keep the current changes in place.

This line should be included as an alias for the "subtropical" category (i.e. placed right below the definition for "ss" near the bottom of the code):

Please add the icon for the "vstyphoon" category (around line 196):

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua" line start="195">

name = "Very strong typhoon",

sortkey = 60020, -- modified line (added comma)

icon = "[[File:Very strong typhoon icon.png|18px]]" -- added line

},

</syntaxhighlight>

and the icon for the "vityphoon" category (around line 201):

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua" line start="199">

color = "C464D9",

name = "Violent typhoon",

sortkey = 60030, -- modified line (added comma)

icon = "[[File:Violent typhoon icon.png|18px]]" -- added line

:[[User:Chlod|Chlod]], could you please clarify: after the proposed changes are applied, will the overrides from [[Special:Diff/1069592996/1107665379]] need to be removed? —⁠[[User:Andrybak|andrybak]] ([[User talk:Andrybak|talk]]) 07:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

::@[[User:Andrybak|Andrybak]]: Well, they ''should'' be removed since an override would no longer be needed. It won't immediately break if there is a conflict. <span style="background:#ffff55">'''''[[User:Chlod|Chlod]]'''''</span>&nbsp;<small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod|say&nbsp;hi!]])</small> 07:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

In case it's necessary, the agency responsible for warning on tropical cyclones in the South-West Indian Ocean has begun using a new category for subtropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind speeds at or above 35 kt. This should be reflected here for use in an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024-25_South-West_Indian_Ocean_cyclone_season), which includes a storm that has been recently designated with this category.

Could someone please revert the color changes I made on March 18, 2022, at [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] per [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Weather#RfC:_Full-scale_reversion]]? All colors should be reverted to their pre-March 18 values per the SNOW support at that discussion. Please be careful to not remove any other additions to this module since then.

:{{done}}<!-- Template:ETp --> I think I found the right changes to make, but it is always a <em>lot</em> easier if you make the proposed changes in a sandbox and show it working on a testcases page. Please ping me if I made any unwanted changes. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 18:48, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

::Hi, @[[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]]! You accidentally reverted a few additions made earlier this year. [[Special:PermanentLink/1115566090]] on the sandbox page has the corrected module code. Previews are on [[Module:Storm categories/demo/sandbox]]. Please make the edit when you find the time.

:::{{done}}. I think I've got it this time. If not, you know how to find me. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 04:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
